જાતથી ભાગતી રાધિકાના પ્રવાસની એવી વાત જેમાં પડાવ તો અનેક આવે છે, પરંતુ મંઝિલ ક્યાંય મળતી નથી. પ્રેમ પામવાનો પ્રયત્ન ખરેખર આટલી બધી પીડા આપતો હશે? ‘મુંબઈ સમાચાર’ના વાચકોએ વખાણેલી નવલકથા.

Kaajal Oza Vaidhya aka KOV is an author whom I would like to salute after finishing every book. Her every book is always true to life and never fails to pull every strings of emotions in your heart. This book was not an exception, Loved the story, it kept me hooked and emotionally attached till the last page. A perfect example of engaging story telling and prose. Must read for every Gujarati literature lover.
I read lots of her books. I like her writing. But Why this end? Why lead character needs to sacrifice? She can complete her responsibilities even being with her hero. She is too strong still so fragile? I feel KOV always wants her lead female character alone , may be like her.
